Regional Homogeneity of the Left Posterior Cingulate Gyrus May Be a Potential Imaging Biomarker of Manic Episodes in First-Episode, Drug-Naive Bipolar Disorder.

Introduction: Abnormal brain networks with emotional response in bipolar disorder (BD). However, there have been few studies on the local consistency between manic episodes in drug-naive first-episode BD patients and healthy controls (HCs). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of neural activity values analyzed by Regional Homogeneity (ReHo).

EGFR/MAPK signaling pathway acts as a potential therapeutic target for sulforaphane-rescued heart tube malformation induced by various concentrations of PhIP exposure.

Background: 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo [4,5-b] pyrimidine (PhIP) is a known carcinogen generated mainly from cooking meat and environmental pollutants. It is worth exploring the potential of natural small-molecule drugs to protect against adverse effects on embryonic development.

Purpose: In this study, we investigated the potential toxicological effects of PhIP on embryonic heart tube formation and the effect of Sulforaphane (SFN) administration on the anti-toxicological effects of PhIP on embryonic cardiogenesis.

Incidence and Factors Associated with Hyperglycemia in Patients with First Hospitalization for Major Depression Disorder: A Large Cross-Sectional Sample.

Purpose: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mood disorder characterized by persistent spontaneous depression and has a high rate of disability and mortality. There is a complex relationship between MDD and disorders of glucose metabolism, and our study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors for hyperglycemia in patients with MDD who were hospitalized for the first times.

Patients And Methods: A total of 981 first-time inpatients with MDD were recruited, socio-demographic information, anthropometric data, and biochemical parameters were collected for each participant.

Effect of enhanced recovery after surgery on patients with malignant obstructive jaundice complicated with diabetes mellitus.

Objective: To explore the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery on patients with malignant obstructive jaundice complicated with diabetes mellitus.

Methods: Patients with malignant obstructive jaundice complicated with diabetes mellitus received surgery in Hengshui People's Hospital were divided into two groups: patients in one group received routine care (routine care group, RC group), and patients in another group received enhanced recovery after surgery on the basis of routine care (accelerated care group, AC group). The differences in patients' satisfaction with care and nursing effects between the two groups were compared.

Effect of percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainag + radiofrequency ablation combined with biliary stent implantation on the liver function of patients with cholangiocarcinoma complicated with malignant obstructive jaundice.

Objective: To investigate the effect of percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) + radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with biliary stent implantation on the liver function of patients with cholangiocarcinoma complicated with malignant obstructive jaundice.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 120 patients with cholangiocarcinoma complicated with malignant obstructive jaundice were divided into the research group (n=60) and the control group (n=60) according to different treatments. The research group received PTCD + RFA combined with biliary stent implantation, while the control group received only PTCD combined with biliary stent implantation.

Long Noncoding RNA PRR34-AS1 Aggravates the Progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Adsorbing microRNA-498 and Thereby Upregulating FOXO3.

Purpose: Long noncoding RNAs are differentially expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and have been validated as essential regulators in HCC. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the detailed roles and mechanisms of most lncRNAs in HCC cells. In this study, the expression profiles of PRR34 antisense RNA 1 () in HCC tissues and cell lines were determined.

Nano-sulforaphane attenuates PhIP-induced early abnormal embryonic neuro-development.

Background: 2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyrimidine (PhIP), one of the most abundant heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAA) formed by cooking meat at high temperatures, may modify humans and rodents through the metabolic process prior to affecting nervous system development. In humans and rodents may be modified by metabolic processes and then affecting nervous system development.

Methods: In this paper, PhIP was used to prepare a chicken embryo model with abnormal embryonic nervous system defects.
